PANews reported on November 1st that, according to Decrypt, MEXC Chief Strategy Officer Cecilia Hsueh apologized to crypto influencer The White Whale on X and returned the frozen funds, admitting to mishandling the matter. The White Whale's account, worth $3 million, was frozen by the MEXC exchange in July. The exchange claimed that he placed two orders within the same second, indicating it wasn't manual trading, violating the exchange's terms of service, and therefore the funds should be confiscated. However, The White Whale denied these allegations and has since launched a campaign on social media to try and recover the funds. Chain detective ZachXBT recently voiced his support for him.
